About Mislav of Croatia
Lived 800 – 845. Mislav of Croatia was a Croatian sovereign.
Mislav was a duke in Croatia from around 835 until his death around 845.
Mislav came to power at some point after Vladislav as the Duke of Dalmatian Croatia. He ruled from Klis in central Dalmatia, when he made Klis Fortress seat to his throne. Mislav was a pious ruler. He built the Church of Saint George in Putalj (on the slopes of hill Kozjak). Duke Mislav maintained good relations with the neighbouring coastal Cities of Byzantine Dalmatia unlike his predecessor, which also led to the growth of Croatian sea power as Mislav modelled Croatian ships in the likehood of the Neretvians and Venetians.
Mislav was succeeded by Trpimir I after his death around 845.
